Be less and be blessed
In the way we view ourselves,
Knowing God is worthy of all praise
Where all glory it should dwell.
When we elevate ourselves
And in wanting to be seen,
It’s where we desire attention
But perhaps through insecurities.
Because it’s all behind the scenes
Where true greatness is attained,
On our knees and in fervent prayers
Where true riches are obtained.
Be less and be blessed
As God exalts the humble indeed,
And will work in the hearts
Where His promptings we don’t see.
Prayer is the most powerful
Weapon we can yield,
Because it opens doors and closes some
And it’s our protective shield.
Be less and be blessed
And understand God’s sovereignty,
As we serve with all gentleness
When not wanting to be seen.
God humbles the exalted
Perhaps not today but eventually,
And patiently waits for their repentance
So a revelation can be seen.
It’s always behind the scenes
Where foundations will reveal,
The type of structure we will build
And as to whether it will yield.
Be less and be blessed
Since a humble nature is admired,
With all faithfulness and loyalty
In ways it can inspire.
God’s ways are pure and gentle,
With love, peace and joy,
And where kindness and all goodness
Will always be deployed.
